1 We aimed to demonstrate that TC effects on liver phenotypes are dependent on changes in the alpha-CGRP/CALCRL/cAMP/PKA/ERK1/2/TGF-beta1/VEGF axis. Taurocholic Acid transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
2 We aimed to demonstrate that TC effects on liver phenotypes are dependent on changes in the alpha-CGRP/CALCRL/cAMP/PKA/ERK1/2/TGF-beta1/VEGF axis. Cyclic AMP transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
3 RESULTS: TC feeding increased CALCA expression, biliary damage, and liver inflammation and fibrosis, as well as phenotypes that were associated with enhanced immunoreactivity of the PKA/ERK1/2/TGF-beta1/TGF-betaRI/VEGF axis compared to BAC-fed mice and phenotypes that were reversed in alpha-CGRP-/- mice fed TC coupled with changes in hepatic BA composition. Taurocholic Acid transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
4 CONCLUSION: Modulation of the TC/ alpha-CGRP/CALCRL/PKA/ERK1/2/TGF-beta1/VEGF axis may be important in the management of cholangiopathies characterized by BA accumulation. Taurocholic Acid transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
